In honor or Mermay, here are a few drawings of mermaids (with a couple mermen mixed in)!
If you like the art you see here, and you want more of it that you can even use in your own projects, you should check out In Deep with Mermaids, part of the NUELOW Games Stock Art Collection. It contains artwork by all the artists featured in this post.
In 1927, actor and filmmaker Castleton Knight created a short horror film that drew its inspiration in equal parts from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Premature Burial" and Sergei Rachmaninoff's "Prelude in C-Sharp Minor", which the composer stated was inspired by a nightmare about a premature burial.
Knight's film, "Prelude", was created to run as Rachmaninoff's "Prelude" was being played, either on a recording or live. As such, Knight ended up creating the first music video in history!
And now, to help you build up the proper Halloween spirit, we present this historic milestone, as it was meant to be seen by its creator! Click below, turn up the volume, and sit back and watch this well-crafted film unfold!
